Blog Like It’s the End of the World (BLITEOTW) will take place on 13 June. That’s not any particular notable day or anniversary, except for the unlucky number.
The idea is that your posting for [...]

10 things on Tuesday

I must not be big on reading crap all the way through because apparently, I was a week early on last Tuesday’s 2nd post– I jumped the gun, as it were.
I’ve had a stellar month. Mostly due to dedication– okay that is complete and total bull poopy. I’ve spent so many days fooling around at [...]

Love Letters

I was joking with my husband earlier this evening that we should be happy that no highschool student years and years from now will have to suffer through reading our communications. There’s another word for that, I just can’t think of it now.

BTT: Indoctrination

When growing up did your family share your love of books? If so, did one person get you into reading? And, do you have any family-oriented memories with books and reading? (Family trips to bookstore, reading the same book as a sibling or parent, etc.)

10 Things You Don’t Like About Your Job

Manic Monday– this is a serious guilty secret favorite

crap weekend

it has been so freaking slow at work. Like seriously, seriously slow. If it weren’t for the blues and like, being addicted to money (and the spending of it) I’d been in a much better mood.

Books are like potato chips…

… you can’t just eat/read one at a time. (kinda)
